        "text": "A custom tile shower is built on-site from the subfloor up, allowing complete flexibility in dimensions, wall layout, waterproofing systems, tile materials, and built-in features like benches or recessed niches. Prefabricated shower units come as pre-molded fiberglass or acrylic enclosures with fixed standard measurements and limited visual styles. While prefab units install faster and cost less upfront, custom tile showers accommodate irregular bathroom footprints, allow curb-free walk-in designs, and blend seamlessly with surrounding bathroom finishes. The tradeoff is that custom tile requires skilled labor, detailed waterproofing, and a longer construction timeline.",
